Wes Davis holds down The Verge on weekends, reporting on everything tech and entertainment under the sun. He loves fixing what is (and ain’t) broke with gadgetry and smart home tech, and came to The Verge from the freelance Wi-Fi router review world.

In the Apple Vision Pro, that is. Disney Plus has rolled out a National Geographic edition virtual environment for its visionOS app that lets you watch movies in a snowy corridor in Iceland’s Thingvellir National Park.
The environment uses “3D models captured on-site using photogrammetry,” according to Disney’s announcement. When you watch a movie, it turns dark and shows you the Northern Lights!
